This study assessed the level of preparedness of the School Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRRM) Team of the Public Secondary Schools in the Division of Manila. The researcher used mixed method and descriptive survey research design to analyze the variables of the study. The respondents of the study composed of thirty-two (32) school heads and thirty-two (32) DRRM coordinators from the public secondary schools in Districts 1 to 6 of DCS, Manila.
A school head's response to a crisis situation is often publicly evaluated after the occurrence of an emergency or disaster, such as those responses in the ongoing pandemic. In some instances, the outcome maybe beyond the control of the school head. However, a school head’s planning and response reactions can impact the eventual outcome and recovery from a disaster.

Zusammenfassung der Kapitel (Chapter Summaries)
Chapter 1: THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND: This chapter introduces the critical importance of effective School Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (SDRRM) for ensuring the safety of students and staff. It highlights the various types of disasters schools face, including natural disasters, pandemics, and acts of violence. The chapter emphasizes the significant challenge posed by the lack of capacity within school personnel and DRRM teams to effectively implement risk-reduction programs. This lack of capacity stems from factors such as limited manpower, insufficient technical knowledge, limited financial resources, and a lack of technological tools like early warning systems. The chapter uses the Philippines as a case study, highlighting the country’s vulnerability to various hazards and the need for improved SDRRM practices in its schools. Specific examples of disasters affecting schools in the Philippines are provided, illustrating the real-world consequences of inadequate preparedness. The chapter also mentions the relevant framework, the Comprehensive Disaster Risk Reduction Management (CDRRM) in Basic Education, and the researcher's personal experience and motivation for undertaking this study, emphasizing the significant impact of disasters on education and the need for improved preparedness within the Division of City Schools (DCS) Manila.
